WD (WILD DRAWING)

Info

WD (Wild Drawing) was born and raised on Bali Indonesia and has degrees in both Fine Arts and Applied Arts. He started off as street artist in 2000 and from that time he spends most of his time to work in the streets, although he never stopped working in his studio. He has held solo exhibitions and participated in group shows and graffiti/street art festivals in Asia, Europe and America. Furthermore his work has been featured in books for Street Art globally.

His EastWest cultural background is combined in a unique way that makes his style so recognisable. He focuses on large-scale murals that realized basically with roller brush and acrylic paints. WD always interacts with the spot where he is working, by incorporating various elements of it into his work, so there is harmony between the mural and the spot where it was created. His work which is of realistic technique, mostly anamorphic, is influenced by Comics, Graphic Novels and Fantastic Art while he gets inspired by social phenomena, lifestyle, art or nature.

What he loves about Street Art is the freedom of expression and the fact that Street Art is freely accessed by everyone without social, economic, cultural or other limitations. Moreover through his art has the chance to speak about the big issue of re-appropriation of the Public Space. These aspects outweigh the ephemeral nature of his art. After all, if he was interested in making works that stand the test of time he would do canvas paintings only. WD is based in Athens, Greece.
